Religious Education

KS3

Students begin Year 7 with a bridging unit related to work they have completed in their primary schools in Year 6. They then study an introduction to the six major world faiths covering founders, holy books and basic beliefs.

Year 8 follows a thematic approach to the study of symbolism. Topics covered include pilgrimage, sacred space, religious clothing, stories and divine images.

In Year 9 students are expected to take on more ‘meaty’ topics and study issues such as beliefs about life after death, morality, marriage, prejudice and discrimination and religion in the media.
